Product Description
We raised the bar - CenterFlow, the clear #1!
A match made in heaven - you gotta have a thermostat so your engine can heat up and run like it was designed to, and what better place to run all that warm coolant than C3 Heated Handlebars, right under your grips to keep your hands nice and toasty!
Two products that make a very noticeable improvement to your snowbiking experience and that you definitely want anyways, why not bundle them here and save up to $40?
The bundle includes everything you need, like bypass lines and return connections.
Please note that the "default image" on this webpage shows a thermostat housing that's used on 2014-22 YZ450F, which of course may not be what you end up ordering. That is to say, don't be concerned if the thermostat you receive doesn't look like that one.
BAR DETAIL:
We raised the bar - CenterFlow, the clear #1!
•Industry-exclusive INTEGRATED CONTROL - adjust the heat output with the custom flow-control valve mounted directly and conveniently at your cockpit!! You'll wonder how you ever lived without it
•No-weld design, CNC precision machined internals. Industry-exclusive purpose-engineered manufacturing methods right from factory - not just modified off-the-shelf
•Modifications are now done in the center area between the bar mounts, where the stress is essentially zero instead of the maximum
•Guaranteed as strong or stronger than stock bars - top-grade 7000-series alloy with profiled wall thickness
•Carefully thought-out custom bend - neutral and natural, not a weird banana-bar!
•Superior customization, fit+finish, AND value

Nothing puts a damper on a ride day braaping though the snow quite like frozen hands... Never again!
C3's CenterFlow heated handlebars run warm engine coolant through your handlebars to keep your hands nice and toasty. Ditch the bulky mitts and reclaim perfect throttle and lever control. Superior design and better value compared to competitors.
The bend of these handlebars was specifically designed to have you feel right at home no matter which bars you were using before (we measured every OEM bar and made ours right in the middle) - the riding posture is neutral, natural, and reactive for quick posture adjustments with changing conditions and aggressive riding. For the numbers people, that's like 9 degrees of upsweep and 14 degrees of backsweep. Definitely very "normal", we get nothing but good feedback.
Warm-up is quick, and the heat output is never finicky like electric grips and much more powerful (tunable by the provided valve).
These are ready to roll with built-in tapped ends for Handguards. We also gave you a touch of standoff between the grips and basher bars to eliminate the hassle and safety concern of gloves getting pinched by the throttle. WILL fit most OEM mounts! But - bars are 1 1/8" "fat bar" diameter - may need risers to replace stock bar mounts on certain Honda and Kawasaki bikes. Certain one-piece bridged bar clamps (some KTM XCFs) are also incompatible without risers. See FAQ tab.
Install is quick and easy thanks to push-to-connect fittings, NEW durable BRAIDED nylon lines, and perfect compatibility with the C3 Thermostat.
C3 thermostat kits have all the connection hardware you'll need, but there's an option for a "backwards compatible" kit too: we'll add to the handlebars kit the valves and NPT fittings, which some other brands of thermostat may accept easily (for instance "Thermo-Bob") - but you should be prepared to maybe do a little custom plumbing.
THERMOSTAT DETAIL:
A thermostat is, along with air intake, among the most vital upgrades to make to any snowbike.
Freezing ambient temperatures plus snow exposure keep the engine from properly warming up, which can cause your EFI to stay in warm-up mode, overfuelling the engine, which means making it run like crap, burning way too much gas, and accelerating engine wear or even risking damage.
A thermostat will help the bike heat up to and maintain the hot 90C/195F temperatures it was designed for. And the C3 thermostat is the one for you!
•Premium materials and innovative design you'd expect from C3
•Pipe thread ports in all models designed specifically to accept accessories like the C3 Heated Handlebars (recommended - bundle!) and Trailtech TTO Temp Gauge
•Reliable and consistent operation
•Bleed hole plus bypass line (included) ensures slow circulation until thermostat opens - then the cooling system is unobstructed and can make full use of radiators if needed, like on warm spring days
•Unmatched customization, versatility, and fit+finish
•Industry exclusive "del-ring" redundant backup seals
A full "factory-custom" model is available for many popular bikes:
•Docks right to your engine and is barely bigger than the fitting it replaces
•Closest to cylinder, accurate temperature reading
•Easiest and most polished installation possible - no cutting or messing around with hoses
